Each payment delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Revolving Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Lender in the same type of funds that the Administrative Agent received at such Lender’s address specified pursuant to Article XIV or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Administrative Agent from such Lender.

(b) [Intentionally Omitted].

(c) If there is more than one Class of Loans outstanding at such time, concurrently with each payment made under this Section 2.16 and each prepayment made under Section 2.17, the applicable Borrower shall designate to the Administrative Agent the Class of Advance or Swing Loan to which such payment or prepayment should be applied.


		32		Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement

(d) Each Foreign Currency Swing Loan shall be repaid by the applicable Borrower and each payment of interest thereon shall be paid by the applicable Borrower in the Appropriate Foreign Currency to the Lending Installation of each Foreign Currency Swing Lender. All such payments shall be made by the applicable Borrower by noon (local time at the place of payment), without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff, on or before the Maturity Date in such funds as may then be customary for the settlement of international transactions in the Appropriate Foreign Currency for the account of the Lending Installation of each Foreign Currency Swing Lender.

(e) Each Euro Swing Loan shall be repaid by the applicable Borrower and each payment of interest thereon shall be paid by the applicable Borrower in Euros to the Lending Installation of the Euro Swing Lender.

(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.16, if, after the making of any Multi-Currency Revolving Advance in any currency other than Dollars, any Foreign Currency Swing Loan or any Euro Swing Loan, currency control or exchange regulations are imposed in the country which issues the applicable currency with the result that the type of currency in which such Multi-Currency Revolving Advance, such Foreign Currency Swing Loan or such Euro Swing Loan was made (the “Original Currency”) no longer exists or the applicable Borrower is not able to make payment in such Original Currency, then all payments to be made by such Borrower hereunder in such currency shall instead be made when due in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount (as of the date of repayment) of such payment due, it being the intention of the parties hereto that such Borrower take all risks of the imposition of any such currency control or exchange regulations. For purposes of this Section 2.16, the commencement of the third stage of the European Economic and Monetary Union shall not constitute the imposition of currency control or exchange regulations.


		33		Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement

(i) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Advances, to fund participations in Swing Loans pursuant to Section 2.24, and to make payments pursuant to Section 9.6(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Advance required to be funded by it hereunder, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 9.6(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Advance, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 9.6(c).

2.17 Optional Principal Payments. The applicable Borrower may from time to time pay, without penalty or premium, all outstanding Base Rate Advances owing by it or, in an amount equal to the Minimum Tranche, any portion of the outstanding Base Rate Advances upon one Business Day’s prior notice to the Administrative Agent. Any optional payment of Swing Loans shall be made in equal pro rata shares to each Swing Lender. The applicable Borrower may from time to time pay, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.4 but without penalty or premium, all outstanding Eurocurrency Advances owing by it or, in an amount equal to the Minimum Tranche, any portion of the outstanding Eurocurrency Advances owing by it upon three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent. The applicable Borrower may from time to time pay, without premium or penalty, all outstanding Yen Swing Loans or Sterling Swing Loans owing by it or, in an amount equal to a principal Equivalent Amount of at least U.S.$5,000,000 and an integral multiple of 1,000,000 units of the Appropriate Foreign Currency, any portion of an outstanding Foreign Currency Swing Loan owing by it upon notice to the Appropriate Foreign Currency Swing Lender not later than 10:00 a.m. (local time at the place of payment) on the date of such prepayment. The applicable Borrower may from time to time pay, without premium or penalty, all outstanding Euro Swing Loans owing by it or, in an amount equal to a principal Equivalent Amount of at least U.S.$5,000,000 and an integral multiple of 1,000,000 Euros, any portion of an outstanding Euro Swing Loan owing by it upon notice to the Euro Swing Lender not later than 10:00 a.m. (London time) on the date of such prepayment.

2.18 Noteless Agreement; Evidence of Indebtedness. (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the Class of each Loan and the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount and Class of each Revolving Loan made hereunder, the Agreed Currency and Type thereof and the Interest Period with respect thereto, (ii) the amount of each Foreign Currency Swing Loan made hereunder and the Appropriate Foreign Currency with respect thereto, (iii) the amount of each Euro Swing Loan made hereunder, (iv) the amount of each U.S. Swing Loan made hereunder, (v) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from any Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (vi) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from any Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.


		34		Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement

(c) Absent manifest error, the entries in the accounts maintained pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the applicable Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms. In the event of any conflict between the accounts maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts of any Lender, the accounts of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(d) Any Revolving Lender may request that its Loans be evidenced by a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit E (a “Note”). In such event, the applicable Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Revolving Lender such Note payable to the order of such Revolving Lender. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after any assignment pursuant to Section 13.3) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the order of the payee named therein or any assignee pursuant to Section 13.3, except to the extent that any such Revolving Lender or assignee subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in clauses (a) and (b) above.

2.19 Telephonic Notices. Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to convert or continue Advances, effect selections of Agreed Currencies and Types and Classes of Advances and transfer funds (as previously authorized in writing by such Borrower) based on telephonic notices made by any person or persons the Administrative Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of such Borrower, it being understood that the foregoing authorization is specifically intended to allow Conversion/Continuation Notices to be given telephonically by an Authorized Officer or his or her designee; provided that such Authorized Officer shall have given the Administrative Agent written notice of such delegation. The applicable Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender a written confirmation (signed by an Authorized Officer) of each telephonic notice, if such confirmation is requested by the Administrative Agent or such Lender. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender in accordance with the telephonic notice of the applicable Borrower, the records of the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall govern absent manifest error.

2.20 Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis. Interest accrued on each Base Rate Advance shall be payable by the applicable Borrower on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the date hereof, on any date on which such Base Rate Advance is prepaid, whether due to acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on that portion of the outstanding principal amount of any Base Rate Advance converted into a Eurocurrency Advance on a day other than a Payment Date shall be payable by the applicable Borrower on the date of conversion. Interest accrued on each Eurocurrency Advance shall be payable by the applicable Borrower on the last day of its applicable Interest Period, on any date on which such Eurocurrency Advance is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on each Eurocurrency Advance having an Interest Period longer than


		35		Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement

three months shall also be payable by the applicable Borrower on the last day of each three-month interval during such Interest Period. Interest accrued on each Foreign Currency Swing Loan, on each Euro Swing Loan and on each U.S. Swing Loan shall be paid by the applicable Borrower on the Maturity Date therefor, on any date on which such Foreign Currency Swing Loan or such Euro Swing Loan is prepaid, whether due to acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest, facility fees and utilization fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year, except for interest on Base Rate Loans calculated by reference to the “prime rate” of Bank of America, Foreign Currency Swing Loans and Revolving Loans denominated in Pounds Sterling or Yen, as applicable, which shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 365-day year or when appropriate, a 366-day year. Interest shall be payable by the applicable Borrower for the day a Loan is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to noon (local time) at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on a Loan shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made by the applicable Borrower on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.

2.21 Notification of Advances, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Commitment Reductions. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent will notify each applicable Lender of the contents of each Total Commitment reduction notice, Advance Borrowing Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice and repayment or prepayment notice received by it hereunder. The Administrative Agent will notify each applicable Lender of the interest rate applicable to each Eurocurrency Advance promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Base Rate.

2.22 Lending Installations. Each Lender may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers in accordance with Article XIV, or the Administrative Agent, may by written notice to the Borrowers and the Lenders, designate replacement or additional Lending Installations through which Loans will be made available by it and for whose account Loan payments are to be made. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the Loans and any Notes issued hereunder shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit of any such Lending Installation.

2.23 Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. (a) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender on (in the case of a Base Rate Advance) or prior to (in the case of a Eurocurrency Advance) the proposed date of any Advance that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Advance, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Sections 2.1 and 2.2, as applicable, and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Advance available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Overnight Rate and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by such Borrower, the Base Rate. If such


		36		Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement

Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Advance to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Advance. Any payment by such Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the applicable Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or such Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this clause (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

2.24 Participations in Swing Loans. (a) Each Multi-Currency Revolving Lender agrees that it shall at all times have a participation in, and acknowledges that it is irrevocably and unconditionally obligated, upon receipt of notice that the Administrative Agent has received a Swing Funding Notice for any Euro Swing Loan or Foreign Currency Swing Loan, to fund (or to cause an Affiliate to fund) its participation in, such outstanding Euro Swing Loan or Foreign Currency Swing Loan in an amount equal to its Multi-Currency Pro Rata Share of the amount of such Euro Swing Loan or Foreign Currency Swing Loan. Each Revolving Lender agrees that it shall at all times have a participation in, and acknowledges that it is irrevocably and unconditionally, upon receipt of notice that the Administrative Agent has received a Swing Funding Notice for any U.S. Swing Loan, required to fund (or to cause an Affiliate to fund) its participation in, such outstanding U.S. Swing Loan in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount of such U.S. Swing Loan.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Revolving Lender of its receipt of a Swing Funding Notice. Promptly (and in any event within one Business Day in the case of U.S. Swing Loans and three Business Days in the case of Foreign Currency Swing Loans or Euro Swing Loans) after receipt of such Notice, each applicable Revolving Lender shall (or shall cause an Affiliate to) make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Swing Lender an amount in the applicable Agreed Currency and in same day funds equal to its applicable share of all outstanding Swing Loans of such Swing Lender (it being understood that no Revolving Lender which is an Affiliate of a Swing Lender shall be obligated to make any amount available to such Swing Lender unless otherwise required by such Swing Lender). If any Revolving Lender so notified fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Swing Lender the full amount of such Revolving Lender’s participations in all Swing Loans of such Swing Lender by the date which is one Business Day (or, in the case of Foreign Currency Swing Loans or Euro Swing Loans, three


		37		Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement

Business Days) after its receipt of such notice from the Administrative Agent, then interest shall accrue on such Revolving Lender’s obligations to fund such participations, from such date to the date such Revolving Lender pays such obligations in full, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to each relevant Loan as in effect from time to time during such period.

(c) From and after the date on which the Administrative Agent has received a Swing Funding Notice for any Swing Loan, all funds received by a Swing Lender in payment of any Swing Loan made by such Swing Lender, interest accrued thereon after the first (or, in the case of a Foreign Currency Swing Loan or Euro Swing Loan, third) Business Day following delivery of such notice and other amounts payable in respect thereof shall be delivered by such Swing Lender to the Administrative Agent, in the same funds as those received by such Swing Lender, to be distributed to all applicable Revolving Lenders in accordance with their applicable shares (i.e., giving effect to the funding of participations pursuant to this Section 2.24), except that the applicable share of such funds of any applicable Revolving Lender that has not funded its participations as provided herein shall be retained by such Swing Lender.

(d) If the Administrative Agent or any Swing Lender is required at any time to return to any Borrower, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator or custodian, or any official in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, any portion of any payment made by such Borrower to the Administrative Agent or such Swing Lender in respect of any Swing Loan or any interest thereon, each applicable Revolving Lender shall, on demand of the Administrative Agent, forthwith return to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Swing Lender its applicable share of the amount so returned by the Administrative Agent or such Swing Lender plus interest thereon from the date such demand is made to the date such amount is returned by such Revolving Lender to the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the rate specified by such Swing Lender as its cost of funds for such period.

(e) The Required Lenders, the Swing Lenders and the Administrative Agent may agree on any other reasonable method (such as making assignments of Swing Loans) for sharing the risks of Swing Loans ratably among all applicable Revolving Lenders as provided herein so long as such method does not materially disadvantage any Lender.

(f) Each applicable Revolving Lender’s obligation to purchase participation interests in Swing Loans pursuant to this Section 2.24 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including (a) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender may have against any other Lender, any Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (b) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, an Event of Default or a Material Adverse Effect, (c) any breach of this Agreement by any Borrower or any other Lender, (d) any inability of any Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in this Agreement on the date upon which any participation interest in any Swing Loan is to be purchased or (e) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(g) Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (f) above, no Revolving Lender shall be required to purchase a participation interest in any Swing Loan if, prior to the making of such Swing Loan, the applicable Swing Lender received written notice from the applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders specifying that one or more of the conditions


		38		Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement

precedent to the making of such Swing Loan were not satisfied and, in fact, such conditions precedent to the making of such Swing Loan were not satisfied at the time of the making of such Swing Loan; provided that the obligation of such Revolving Lender to purchase such participation interest shall be reinstated on the date on which all conditions precedent to the making of such Swing Loan have been satisfied (or waived by the Required Lenders or all Revolving Lenders, as applicable).

2.25 Market Disruption. Notwithstanding the satisfaction of all conditions referred to in Article II and Article IV with respect to any Multi-Currency Revolving Advance in any Agreed Currency other than Dollars, any Foreign Currency Swing Loan or any Euro Swing Loan, if there shall occur on or prior to the date of such Multi-Currency Revolving Advance, Foreign Currency Swing Loan or Euro Swing Loan any change in national or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls which would, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent or (x) in the case of a Multi-Currency Revolving Advance, the Multi-Currency Required Lenders, (y) in the case of a Foreign Currency Swing Loan, the applicable Appropriate Foreign Currency Swing Lender or (z) in the case of a Euro Swing Loan, the Euro Swing Lender, make it illegal or impracticable for the Loans comprising such Multi-Currency Revolving Advance to be denominated in the Agreed Currency specified by the applicable Borrower, a Foreign Currency Swing Loan to be made in the Appropriate Foreign Currency or a Euro Swing Loan to be made in Euros, then: (a) in the case of a Multi-Currency Revolving Advance, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to such Borrower and the Multi-Currency Revolving Lenders, and the requested Multi-Currency Revolving Loans shall not be denominated in such Agreed Currency but shall be made on such Borrowing Date in Dollars, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Dollar Amount of the aggregate principal amount specified in the related Advance Borrowing Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be, as Base Rate Loans, unless such Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day before such date that (i) it elects not to borrow on such date or (ii) it elects to borrow on such date in a different Agreed Currency (which would in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders be legal and practicable) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Dollar Amount of the aggregate principal amount specified in the related Advance Borrowing Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be; (b) in the case of a Foreign Currency Swing Loan, the applicable Appropriate Foreign Currency Swing Lender shall have no obligation to make such Foreign Currency Swing Loan and (c) in the case of a Euro Swing Loan, the Euro Swing Lender shall have no obligation to make such Euro Swing Loan.

2.26 Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from any Borrower hereunder in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the “specified currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the specified currency with such other currency at the Administrative Agent’s main New York office on the Business Day preceding that on which final, nonappealable judgment is given. The obligations of the applicable Borrower in respect of any sum due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so


		39		Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement

due in such other currency such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal, reasonable banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other currency. If the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, such Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds (a) the sum originally due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency and (b) any amounts shared with other Lenders as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Lender under Section 12.2, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to such Borrower.

2.27 Increase in Commitments.

(a) Provided there exists no Default or Event of Default, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify such of the Revolving Lenders as Visa Inc. may specify), Visa Inc. may, from time to time, elect to increase the Total Commitment to an amount (after giving effect to all such increases) that does not exceed $5,000,000,000; provided that (i) each increase shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000 and (ii) Visa Inc. may make a maximum of five such elections. At the time of sending such notice, Visa Inc. (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each applicable Revolving Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the applicable Revolving Lenders).

(b) Each applicable Revolving Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment and, if so, the amount of such increase and whether such increase is of its Dollar Revolving Commitment or Multi-Currency Revolving Commitment. Any Revolving Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Revolving Commitment.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall notify Visa Inc. and each applicable Revolving Lender of the applicable Revolving Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase and subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, Visa Inc. may also invite Eligible Assignees to become Lenders.

(d) If the Total Commitment is increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and Visa Inc. shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Visa Inc. and the Revolving Lenders (including any new Revolving Lenders) of the final allocation of such increase and such Increase Effective Date. On or before such Increase Effective Date, each Eligible Assignee that becomes a new Revolving Lender shall execute a joinder agreement to this Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent is authorized and directed to amend and distribute to the Revolving Lenders (including any new Revolving Lenders) a revised Schedule 1 that gives effect to each increase in the Total Commitment and the allocation thereof among the Revolving Lenders (including any new Revolving Lenders).


		40		Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement

(e) If on the Increase Effective Date, there is an unpaid principal amount of Revolving Loans, the applicable Borrowers shall, on such date or on such date or dates thereafter as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify (in consultation with Visa Inc. and having regard to the avoidance of amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.4, in each case so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), borrow Revolving Loans from the Revolving Lenders and/or prepay any Revolving Loans outstanding on each Increase Effective Date for the sole purpose of insuring that the Revolving Loans (including, without limitation, the Types thereof and Interest Periods with respect thereto) shall be held by the Revolving Lenders pro rata according to their revised applicable shares.

2.28 Replacement of Lender. If any Lender requests compensation under Sections 3.1 or 3.2 (or has given notice pursuant to Section 3.6 that such request may be made), or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.5 (or has given notice pursuant to Section 3.6 that such payment may be required), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then Visa Inc. may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, and each such Lender agrees to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Sections 13.1, 13.2 and 13.3), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(a) Visa Inc. shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 13.3.1(d);

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Sections 3.1 or 3.2 from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the applicable Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Sections 3.1 or 3.2 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.5, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Visa Inc. to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law), or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender, applicable Lending Installation or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency:

(c) imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender, any applicable Lending Installation or any corporation controlling such Lender of making, funding or maintaining its Eurocurrency Loans, Foreign Currency Swing Loans or Euro Swing Loans or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender, any applicable Lending Installation or any corporation controlling such Lender in connection with its Eurocurrency Loans, Foreign Currency Swing Loans or Euro Swing Loans, or requires any Lender, any applicable Lending Installation or any corporation controlling such Lender to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of Eurocurrency Loans, Foreign Currency Swing Loans or Euro Swing Loans held or interest received by it, by an amount deemed material by such Lender,

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, applicable Lending Installation or any corporation controlling such Lender of making or maintaining its Eurocurrency Loans, Foreign Currency Swing Loans or Euro Swing Loans or its Commitment or to reduce the return received by such Lender, applicable Lending Installation or any corporation controlling such Lender in connection with such Eurocurrency Loans, Foreign Currency Swing Loans or Euro Swing Loans or its Commitment, and such Lender is generally making or will generally make a similar claim against other borrowers from such Lender having language in the applicable borrowing agreements similar to that contained in this Section 3.1, and such Lender so states in writing to Visa Inc., then, within 15 days of demand by such Lender, Visa Inc. shall pay or cause to be paid to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction in amount received.

3.2 Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If a Lender determines the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender, any Lending Installation of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender is increased as a result of a Change (defined


		42		Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement

below) and such Lender is then making a claim against a substantial portion of the other borrowers from such Lender which have language in the applicable borrowing agreements similar to that found in this Section 3.2 and such Lender so certifies in writing to Visa Inc., then, within 15 days of a written demand by such Lender (which shall include a schedule demonstrating how the amount demanded was calculated), Visa Inc. shall pay or cause to be paid to such Lender the amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital which such Lender determines is attributable to this Agreement, its Loans or its Commitment to make Loans hereunder (after taking into account such Lender’s policies as to capital adequacy). “Change” means (a) any change after the date of this Agreement in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines or in the interpretation or application thereof or (b) any adoption of or change in any other law, governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or directive (whether or not having the force of law) after the date of this Agreement which affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any Lending Installation or any corporation controlling any Lender. “Risk-Based Capital Guidelines” means (a) the risk-based capital guidelines in effect in the United States on the date of this Agreement, including transition rules, and (b) the corresponding capital regulations promulgated by regulatory authorities outside the United States implementing the July 1988 report of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulation and Supervisory Practices Entitled “International Convergence of Capital Measurements and Capital Standards,” including transition rules, and any amendments to such regulations adopted prior to the date of this Agreement.

3.3 Availability of Advances. If any Lender determines that maintenance of its Eurocurrency Loans, Foreign Currency Swing Loans or Euro Swing Loans at a suitable Lending Installation would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, or directive, whether or not having the force of law, or if the Required Lenders determine, or a Foreign Currency Swing Lender or the Euro Swing Lender determines, as the case may be, that (a) deposits of a type, currency and maturity appropriate to match fund Eurocurrency Advances, the applicable Foreign Currency Swing Loans or Euro Swing Loans, as the case may be, are not available or (b) the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Advances, the applicable Foreign Currency Swing Loans or Euro Swing Loans, as the case may be, does not accurately reflect the cost of making or maintaining such Eurocurrency Advances, Foreign Currency Swing Loans or Euro Swing Loans, as the case may be, then (i) in the case of any such determination with respect to Eurocurrency Advances, the Administrative Agent shall suspend the availability of Eurocurrency Advances and require any affected Eurocurrency Advances to be repaid or converted to Base Rate Advances, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.4, (ii) in the case of any such determination with respect to Foreign Currency Swing Loans, the Appropriate Foreign Currency Swing Lender may suspend the availability of Foreign Currency Swing Loans by such Lender and require any affected Foreign Currency Swing Loans to be repaid or (iii) in the case of any such determination with respect to Euro Swing Loans, the Euro Swing Lender may suspend the availability of Euro Swing Loans and require any affected Euro Swing Loans to be repaid.

3.4 Funding Indemnification. If any payment of a Eurocurrency Advance, Foreign Currency Swing Loan or Euro Swing Loan occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or a Eurocurrency Advance, Foreign Currency Swing Loan or Euro Swing Loan is not made on the date specified by the applicable Borrower for any reason other than default by any of the


		43		Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement

applicable Lenders, such Borrower will indemnify each non-defaulting Lender for any loss or cost incurred by it resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain such Eurocurrency Advance, Foreign Currency Swing Loan or Euro Swing Loan (but excluding any lost profits).

3.5 Taxes. (a) All payments by each Borrower to or for the account of any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Note shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes. If any Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.5) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv) such Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of any receipt received by such Borrower evidencing payment thereof within 30 days after such payment is made.

(b) In addition, each Borrower hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any Note or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Note (“Other Taxes”). Such Other Taxes shall be paid within 30 days following such Borrower’s receipt of a written demand with respect thereto pursuant to Section 3.6.

(c) Each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable by such Borrower under this Section 3.5 to the extent actually incurred) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender and any penalties, interest and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto; provided that no Borrower shall be responsible for any such penalties, interest and expenses to the extent they arise out of a Lender’s failure to comply with its obligations under clause (a) of Section 3.6. Payments due under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days of the date the Administrative Agent or such Lender makes demand therefor pursuant to Section 3.6.

(d) Each Revolving Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (each a “Non-U.S. Lender”) agrees that it will, not less than ten Business Days after the date of this Agreement, deliver to each of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of, as applicable, (i) United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN or W-8 ECI, as appropriate, certifying in either case that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes or (ii) United States Internal Revenue Form W-8 or W-9, as the case may be, and certify that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each Non-U.S. Lender further undertakes to deliver to each of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, to the extent it may lawfully do so at such time, (x) renewals or additional copies of such form (or any successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete and (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the


		44		Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement

most recent forms so delivered by it, such additional forms or amendments thereto as may be reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent. All forms or amendments described in the preceding sentence shall certify that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form or amendment with respect to it and such Lender advises the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.

(e) For any period during which a Non-U.S. Lender has failed to provide the Borrowers with an appropriate form pursuant to clause (d) above (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 3.5 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided that, should a Non-U.S. Lender which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required under clause (d) above, each Borrower shall take such steps as such Non-U.S. Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Non-U.S. Lender to recover such Taxes.

(f) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement or any Note pursuant to the law of any relevant jurisdiction or any treaty shall deliver to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

(g) If the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other governmental authority of the United States or any other country or any political subdivision thereof asserts a claim that any Borrower, the Administrative Agent or a Swing Lender did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered or properly completed by such Lender, because such Lender failed to notify any Borrower, the Administrative Agent or such Swing Lender of a change in circumstances which rendered its exemption from withholding ineffective, or for any other reason other than the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Borrower, the Administrative Agent or such Swing Lender), such Lender shall indemnify such Borrower, the Administrative Agent or such Swing Lender fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by such Borrower, the Administrative Agent or such Swing Lender as tax, withholding therefor, or otherwise, as a result of such failure to properly withhold, including penalties and interest, and including taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable to such Borrower, the Administrative Agent or such Swing Lender under this clause (g), together with all costs and expenses related thereto (including attorneys fees and time charges of attorneys for such Borrower, the Administrative Agent or such Swing Lender, which attorneys may be employees of such Persons). The obligations of the Lenders under this clause (g) shall survive the payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.


		45		Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement

3.6 Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity. Each Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) promptly notify Visa Inc. or the applicable Borrower of any event or condition which has resulted or is reasonably likely to result in any liability of Visa Inc. or such Borrower to such Lender under Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5 or the unavailability of Eurocurrency Loans, Foreign Currency Swing Loans or Euro Swing Loans under Section 3.3 and (b) designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its Eurocurrency Loans, Foreign Currency Swing Loans or Euro Swing Loans, as applicable, or take such other appropriate actions, in each case to reduce any liability of Visa Inc. or such Borrower to such Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5 or to avoid the unavailability of Eurocurrency Loans, Foreign Currency Swing Loans or Euro Swing Loans under Section 3.3, so long as such designation or other appropriate actions are not, in the judgment of such Lender, disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Lender shall deliver a written statement of such Lender to Visa Inc. or the applicable Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) as to the amount due, if any, under Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on Visa Inc. or such Borrower in the absence of manifest error. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a Eurocurrency Loan, Foreign Currency Swing Loans and Euro Swing Loans shall be calculated as though the applicable Lender funded its Eurocurrency Loan, Foreign Currency Swing Loans or Euro Swing Loan, as the case may be, through the purchase of a deposit of the Type, currency and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the interest rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement of any Lender shall be payable on demand after receipt by Visa Inc. or the applicable Borrower of such written statement. The obligations of Visa Inc. or the applicable Borrower under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

The execution, delivery and performance by each Borrower of the Loan Documents, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, are within such Borrower’s corporate powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action. The Loan Documents to which each Borrower is a party constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of such Borrower enforceable against such Borrower in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.

5.3 No Conflict; Government Consent. Neither the execution and delivery by any Borrower of the Loan Documents, nor the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated, nor compliance with the provisions thereof will violate (a) any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on (x) such Borrower or (y) any of its Subsidiaries, if such violation could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (b) such Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s articles or certificate of incorporation, partnership agreement, certificate of partnership, articles or certificate of organization, bylaws, or operating or other management agreement, as the case may be, (c) the provisions of any material indenture, instrument or agreement to which such Borrower is a party or is subject, or by which it, or its Property, is bound, or conflict with or constitute a default thereunder, or result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien in, of or on the Property of such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any such material indenture, instrument or agreement

(b) The December 31, 2007 unaudited consolidated financial statements of Visa Inc., heretofore delivered to the Lenders, were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in effect on the date such statements were prepared and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial condition and operations of Visa Inc. and its Subsidiaries at such date and the consolidated results of their operations for the period then ended, subject to normal year-end adjustments.

5.5 Material Adverse Change. Except as disclosed in Schedule 5.7 hereto, and except with respect to any loss relating to or in connection with Section 9.01 of Visa International’s By-Laws incurred during such period due to the failure of a member bank which will be recovered pursuant to a recovery plan which has been adopted by the Board of Directors of Visa International or the Board of Directors of any regional affiliate of Visa International, including the Board of Directors of Visa U.S.A. Inc. (any such loss, a “Recoverable Loss”), since October 1, 2007 there has been no change in the business, Property, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations of Visa Inc. and its Subsidiaries which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Except as disclosed in Schedule 5.7 hereto, there is no pending or threatened (in writing) action, suit, investigation, litigation or proceeding (a “Proceeding”) affecting any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

5.8 Subsidiaries. Schedule 5.8 contains an accurate list of all Subsidiaries of each Borrower as of the date of this Agreement, setting forth their respective jurisdictions of organization and the percentage of their respective capital stock or other ownership interests owned by such Borrower. All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock or other ownership interests of such Subsidiaries have been (to the extent such concepts are relevant with respect to such ownership interests) duly authorized and issued and are fully paid and nonassessable.

5.9 Contingent Obligations. Except as provided on Schedule 5.9, and except for obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business, neither any Borrower nor any Material Subsidiary has any contingent obligations not provided for or disclosed in the financial statements referred to in Section 5.4 that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.10 Accuracy of Information. No information, exhibit or report furnished by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to the Administrative Agent or to any Lender in connection with the Loan Documents contained any material misstatement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading.

5.11 Regulation U. No Borrower is engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U) and no proceeds of any Loan will be used to purchase or carry any margin stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock.

5.12 Material Agreements. Neither any Borrower nor any Subsidiary is a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any charter or other corporate restriction which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither any Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in (a) any agreement to which it is a party, which default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (b) any agreement or instrument evidencing Indebtedness in an amount exceeding U.S.$100,000,000, individually or in the aggregate.

5.13 Compliance With Laws. Each Borrower and its Subsidiaries have complied with all applicable material statutes, rules, regulations, orders and restrictions of any United States or foreign government or any instrumentality or agency thereof having jurisdiction over the conduct of their respective businesses or the ownership of their respective Property, noncompliance with which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

		50		Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement

those permitted by Section 6.12, to all of the material Property and assets reflected in such Borrower’s most recent consolidated financial statements provided to the Administrative Agent as owned by such Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

5.15 Plan Assets; Prohibited Transactions. No Borrower is an entity deemed to hold “plan assets” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101 of an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) which is subject to Title I of ERISA or any plan (within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code), and neither the execution of this Agreement nor the making of Loans hereunder gives rise to a prohibited transaction within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

5.16 Environmental Matters. In the ordinary course of its business, each Borrower considers the effect of Environmental Laws on the business of such Borrower and its Subsidiaries, in the course of which it attempts to identify and evaluate potential risks and liabilities accruing to such Borrower due to Environmental Laws. On the basis of this consideration, each Borrower believes that the application of the Environmental Laws to such Borrower could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither any Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written notice to the effect that its operations are not in material compliance with any of the requirements of applicable Environmental Laws or are the subject of any federal or state investigation evaluating whether any remedial action is needed to respond to a release of any toxic or hazardous waste or substance into the environment, which noncompliance or remedial action could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.17 Investment Company Act. Neither any Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

5.18 ERISA. No Plan had a material accumulated funding deficiency (as such term is defined in Section 302 of ERISA), whether or not waived, as of the last day of the most recent fiscal year of such Plan ended prior to the date hereof, for which the actuarial analysis has been received, or would have had such an accumulated funding deficiency on such day if such year were the first year of such Plan to which Part 3 of Subtitle B of Title 1 of ERISA applied, and no material liability to the PBGC has been incurred with respect to any such Plan by any Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate. No Plan to which any Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate contributes is a multiemployer plan (within the meaning of Section 3(37) of ERISA). Each Plan is and has been in all material respects operated and administered in accordance with its provisions and applicable law. No Unfunded Liabilities under ERISA exist with respect to any Plan which such Unfunded Liabilities could reasonably be expected to exceed U.S.$50,000,000, individually or in the aggregate.

ARTICLE VIII - ACCELERATION, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES

(a) If any Event of Default described in Section 7.5 occurs with respect to any Borrower, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. If any other Event of Default occurs, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the written consent of the Required Lenders) may terminate or suspend the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder, or declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which each Borrower hereby expressly waives.

(b) If, within 30 days after acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations or termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder as a result of any Event of


		59		Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement

Default (other than any Event of Default as described in Section 7.5 with respect to any Borrower) and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the Obligations due shall have been obtained or entered, the Required Lenders (in their sole discretion) shall so direct, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrowers, rescind and annul such acceleration and/or termination.

8.2 Dollar Conversion and Assignment of Obligations.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, on the date (the “Conversion Date”) that (i) (A) there has been an acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations or a termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder as a result of any Event of Default and (B) the Required Lenders cease to have the right under Section 8.1(b) to rescind or annul such an acceleration or termination, (ii) the Termination Date occurs and the Obligations are not concurrently repaid in full or (iii) an Event of Default described in Section 7.5 occurs with respect to any Borrower, all outstanding Multi-Currency Revolving Loans in an Agreed Currency other than Dollars, all outstanding Euro Swing Loans and all outstanding Foreign Currency Swing Loans shall be converted into Dollars and the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of conversion used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase Dollars with the specified currency at the Administrative Agent’s main New York office on the Business Day preceding the Conversion Date. If the amount of Dollars so purchased with the specified currency is less than the amount originally borrowed by any Borrower from the Multi-Currency Revolving Lenders or a Swing Lender, in an Agreed Currency, such Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, to indemnify such Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally borrowed by such Borrower from any Multi-Currency Revolving Lender or a Swing Lender, as the case may be, in an Agreed Currency, then Administrative Agent may apply such excess to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as the Administrative Agent may elect.

(b) From and after the Conversion Date, Loans shall be denominated only in Dollars.

(c) On the Conversion Date, each Revolving Lender (each a “Selling Revolving Lender”) shall sell, and each other Revolving Lender (each a “Purchasing Revolving Lender”) shall purchase, without recourse, from one or more Selling Revolving Lenders an assignment or participation of the outstanding Revolving Loans and participations obligations with respect to the Swing Loans held by such Selling Revolving Lenders in such amounts as shall be necessary to cause each Purchasing Revolving Lender and each Selling Revolving Lender to share the Total Outstandings and Swing Loan participation interests in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares of such amounts. Each Purchasing Revolving Lender agrees that this purchase obligation shall be absolute and unconditional. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of the assignments or participations purchased under this Section 8.2(c) and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such assignment or participation. Each Purchasing Revolving Lender that purchases an assignment pursuant to this Section 8.2(c) shall be deemed to have complied with Section 13.3, and shall have all of the rights and obligations of an assignee hereunder (without the necessity of complying with Section 13.3.1(d)) with respect to the assigned Revolving Loans or participation interests.


		60		Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement

8.3 Amendments. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by any Borrower therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Required Lenders and the Borrowers, and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall:

(a) waive any condition set forth in Section 4.1 without the written consent of each Lender;

(b) extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender (or reinstate any Commitment terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, other than as provided for in Section 8.1) without the written consent of such Lender;

(c) postpone any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Loan Document for any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts due to the Lenders (or any of them) hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

(d) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any Loan, or (subject to subclause (iii) of the second proviso to this Section 8.3) any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided, however, that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend Section 2.15 or waive any obligation of any Borrower to pay interest as set forth in Section 2.15;

(e) change Section 12.2 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

(f) change the definition of “Dollar Pro Rata Share,” “Multi-Currency Pro Rata Share” or “Pro Rata Share” without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

(g) change Section 1.6 or the definition of “Agreed Currency” without the written consent of each Multi-Currency Revolving Lender;

(h) change Section 8.2 or Section 13.5 without the written consent of each Revolving Lender;

(i) release Visa Inc. from liability under the Guarantee without the written consent of each Revolving Lender or

(j) change any provision of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision or definition hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to amend, waive or otherwise modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender,

And, provided, further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the affected Swing Lender in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights


		61		Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement

or duties of such Swing Lender under this Agreement, (ii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (iii) the Fee Letters may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto and (iv) Schedule 1 may be amended by the Administrative Agent as provided in the last sentence of Section 13.3.1.

8.4 Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise any right under any Loan Document shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Loan notwithstanding the existence of a Event of Default or the inability of any Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Loan shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Lenders required pursuant to Section 8.3, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full.

ARTICLE IX - GENERAL PROVISIONS

Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.16(g), if any Revolving Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its Revolving Loans (other than payments received pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5) or its participation in Swing Loans in a greater proportion than that received by any other Revolving Lender, such Revolving Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Revolving Loans (or such participations in Swing Loans) held by the other Revolving Lenders so that after such purchase each Revolving Lender will hold its pro rata share of all Revolving Loans (and all participations in Swing Loans), as contemplated by this Agreement.

ARTICLE XIII - BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

13.1 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that, except as otherwise permitted herein, no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (a) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.3, (b) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.2 or (c) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 13.3.3 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 13.2 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

13.2 Participations.

13.2.1 Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or any Borrower or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in Swing Loans) owing to it); provided that (a) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (b) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (c) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (d) except in the case of any such participation sold to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, each such participation shall be in an amount of not less than $10,000,000, or shall be in an amount of such Lender’s entire remaining Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 8.3 that affects such Participant. Subject to Section 13.2.2, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.3. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.1 as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 12.2 as though it were a Lender.


		75		Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement

13.2.2 Limitation upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Visa Inc.’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Non-U.S. Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.5 unless the Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 3.6 as though it were a Lender.

13.3 Assignments.

13.3.1 Permitted Assignments. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 13.3.1, participations in Swing Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that

(a) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment assigned (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than U.S.$10,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Visa Inc. otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

(b) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (b) shall not apply to rights in respect of Swing Loans;

(c) any assignment of a Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent, each Swing Lender and, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Visa Inc. (provided that such approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender or an Eligible Affiliate or Approved Fund (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee); and

(d) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500, unless waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire.


		76		Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.3.2, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.5, and 9.6 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the applicable Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 13.3.1 shall not be treated as an assignment under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized and directed to amend Schedule 1 from time to time to reflect any assignment or transfer pursuant to this Section 13.3.1, any transaction effected pursuant to Section 13.5 and the addition of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.27, and to deliver such amended Schedule 1 to the Borrowers and each Lender.

13.3.2 Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at its applicable Lending Installation a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and the Lenders at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

13.3.3 Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

13.3.4 Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.


		77		Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement

13.3.5 Resignation as Swing Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time any Swing Lender assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to Section 13.3.1 (other than its Commitment to make Swing Loans and Swing Loans outstanding under such Commitment), such Swing Lender may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrowers, resign as a Swing Lender. In the event of any such resignation as a Swing Lender, the Borrowers shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Swing Lender hereunder (subject to the consent of such proposed successor Swing Lender); provided, however, that no failure by the Borrowers to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of the retiring Swing Lender as a Swing Lender, as the case may be. If any Swing Lender resigns as a Swing Lender, it shall retain all the rights of a Swing Lender provided for hereunder with respect to its Swing Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Loans pursuant to Section 2.24.

13.4 Tax Treatment. If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to any Eligible Assignee which is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Revolving Lender shall cause such Eligible Assignee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 3.5(d).

13.5 New Lenders and Reallocation of Commitments. After consultation with, and upon notice (which notice shall set forth the effective date thereof) to the Administrative Agent, Visa Inc. may, on or before March 31, 2008, cause one or more Eligible Assignees to become a Lender party to this Agreement (it being understood that, notwithstanding any approval or consent requirement contained in the definition of “Eligible Assignee” or elsewhere in this Agreement, such Eligible Assignee may become a party to this Agreement without the approval or consent of any Lender and that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, such Eligible Assignee may become a party to this Agreement without the execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption or other compliance with the provisions of Section 13.3) by the execution and delivery by such Eligible Assignee to the Administrative Agent of a signature page to this Agreement setting forth the Multi-Currency Revolving Commitment or Dollar Revolving Commitment, as the case may be, of such Eligible Assignee, which shall be in the amount of at least $10,000,000. Such execution and delivery shall constitute the agreement of such Eligible Assignee to become a Lender party to this Agreement and the assumption by such Eligible Assignee of the Multi-Currency Revolving Commitment or Dollar Revolving Commitment, as the case may be, set forth on such signature page and shall be effective to cause the Multi-Currency Revolving Commitment or Dollar Revolving Commitment, as the case may be, of one or more of the existing Lenders specified by Visa Inc. in such notice to be assigned to such Eligible Assignee in an amount for each such Lender of not less than $1,000,000 (as specified in such notice) and in an aggregate amount for all such Lenders equal to the amount of the Multi-Currency Revolving Commitment or Dollar Revolving Commitment, as the case may be, assumed by such Eligible Assignee. Concurrently with the effectiveness thereof, the applicable Borrower shall repay outstanding Loans so that the


		78		Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement

outstanding Revolving Loans and funded participations in Swing Line Loans owing to any Lender whose Multi-Currency Revolving Commitment or Dollar Revolving Commitment, as the case may be, is assigned pursuant to this Section do not exceed the reduced amount of such Multi-Currency Revolving Commitment or Dollar Revolving Commitment, as the case may be, and, thereafter, the applicable Borrower shall, if necessary, comply with the provisions of Section 2.27(e) as if an Increase Effective Date had occurred. The transactions contemplated by this Section shall not increase the Total Commitment and shall be in addition to, but shall not (except as expressly set forth in this Section) limit the rights and obligations of Visa Inc., any other Borrower, any Lender or the Administrative Agent under, Section 13.2 or 13.3. The Administrative Agent is authorized and directed to amend and distribute to the Revolving Lenders (including any new Revolving Lenders added pursuant to this Section) a revised Schedule 1 that give effect to transactions effected pursuant to this Section.
